Two co-dimensional thick brane-worlds are investigated in quite general terms for two intersecting scalar fields generating the extra dimension defect. In general, when one considers two co-dimensional thick brane-worlds, the warp factor is…
The pseudo-Goldstone boson mechanism for the ``doublet-triplet splitting'' problem of the grand unified theory can be naturally implemented in the scenario with extra dimensions and branes. The two SU(6) global symmetries of the Higgs…
It is well known that in a braneworld model, the localization of fermions on lower dimensional submanifold (say a TeV 3-brane) is governed by the gravity in the bulk which also determines the corresponding phenomenology on the brane. Here…
We study the effect of bulk fermions on electroweak precision observables in a recently proposed model with warped extra dimensions and no custodial symmetry. We find that the top-quark mass, together with the corrections to the Zbb vertex…
We discuss the properties of codimension-two branes and compare them to codimension-one branes. In particular, we show that for deficit angle branes the brane energy momentum tensor is uniquely related to integration constants in the bulk…
We suggest a thick braneworld model in the squared curvature gravity theory. Despite the appearance of higher order derivatives, the localization of gravity and various bulk matter fields is shown to be possible. The existence of the…
The field content and interactions of almost all known gauge theories in AdS_5/CFT_4 can be expressed in terms of dimer models or bipartite graphs drawn on a torus. Associated with the fundamental cell is a complex structure parameter…
We consider a compactification with a six-dimensional torus in the type II brane gas models. We show that the dilaton and the scale of each cycle of the internal space are fixed in the presence of NS5-brane and Kaluza-Klein monopoles as…
We investigate boundary dynamics of orbifold conformal field theory involving T-duality twists. Such models typically appear in contexts of non-geometric string compactifications that are called monodrofolds or T-folds in recent literature.…
In this work we analyze the localization of fermions on a brane embedded in five-dimensional, warped and non-warped, space-time. In both cases we use the same nonlinear theoretical model with a non-polynomial potential featuring a…
In a class of multidimensional models, topology of the thick brane provides three chiral fermionic families with hierarchical masses and mixings in the effective four-dimensional theory, while the full model contains a single vector-like…
Considering a theory space consisting of a large number of five-dimensional Dirac fermion field theories including background abelian gauge fields, we can construct a theory similar to a continuous six-dimensional theory compactified with…
A six dimensional standing-wave braneworld model has been constructed. It consists in an anisotropic 4-brane generated by standing gravitational waves whose source is normal matter. In this model the compact (on-brane) dimension is assumed…
We explore the possibilities of constructing bulk spacetimes in five dimensions for warped braneworld models with a spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) line element on the 3-brane and with a time-dependent extra dimension. Our…
Light sterile neutrinos are a popular extension of the Standard Model and are being discussed as a possible explanation for various neutrino oscillation anomalies, including the LSND, MiniBooNE, Reactor and Gallium anomalies. In order to…

We present a non-compact (4 + 1) dimensional model with a local strong four-fermion interaction supplementing it with gravity. In the strong coupling regime it reveals the spontaneous translational symmetry breaking which eventually leads…
Braneworlds inside an AdS black hole provide simple models where a closed cosmology can be encoded in a dual field theory. Previous studies have focused on pure-tension branes, where the only matter in the cosmology is that dual to the…
We investigate thick-brane configurations in five-dimensional $f(T,T_G)$ modified teleparallel gravity. In five dimensions, the torsional Gauss-Bonnet invariant $T_G$ contributes dynamically, leading to genuinely new effects even at linear…
We construct a complete five dimensional Quark-Lepton symmetric model, with all fields propagating in the bulk. The extra dimension forms an $S^1/Z_2\times Z_2'$ orbifold with the zero mode fermions corresponding to standard model quarks…
